The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming. I’ll level with you – it’s a lean couple of weeks. There’s a long dry spell at the start, and when waves finally show up, they’re not much to write home about.
The whole 16-day window is pretty flat. The first chance to surf doesn’t roll in until Thursday, September 10th. The only spot in the mix is The Reef (Haifa), a beach and reef setup that’s inconsistent at the best of times. Water temp is 30°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be fine in boardies.
We’ve got a real quiet stretch from now all the way through Wednesday, September 9th. A solid week of tiny, weak waves with onshore or side-onshore winds. Not a single morning in that period offers anything worth paddling for. Stay home.
Thursday, September 10th, we finally get a little bump. Thursday morning brings a 0.9m swell from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is 99 – that’s weak, barely a ripple. Wind is light cross-shore from the SSW, so the surface will be tidy, but the waves are knee-high at best. Thursday afternoon the swell creeps up to 1.0m from the west, but the wind goes cross-onshore, so it’ll get a bit messy.
Friday, September 11th morning is the cleanest we’ll see. Swell drops to 0.7m from the WNW, but we get a light cross-offshore breeze from the south. The report says “clean,” and that’s about as good as it gets in this run. Energy is only 49, so expect weak, slow waves. It’s beginner-friendly size, so if you’re learning or just want to get wet, this is your morning.
After that, it’s back to tiny junk. Saturday, September 12th morning goes glassy, but the swell is a sad 0.4m – you’d be floating. The rest of the second week is more onshore wind and tiny 0.4m to 0.6m swell. No standout sessions, no real power.
If I’m picking the one time to bother, it’s Friday morning, September 11th. It’s not going to be epic, but the clean conditions and that little cross-offshore breeze will be the best we get. Don’t expect much, but you might grab a few soft ones if you’re patient.
Rusty.

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for The Reef (Haifa) may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
